Should you hire a car in Italy ?

Yes!  Hiring a car in Italy provides you with the flexibility to explore the many cities, famous landmarks and the Italian countryside including the windy mountainous roads like the Colle del Nivolet made famous in the film `The Italian Job .  Some of the best road trips in Italy can be taken advantage of when hiring a car, from Rome to Terni, The Amalfi Coast, Lake Garda and The Great Dolmites road among many others. 

We have a broad choice of rental vehicles to choose from ranging from open top (cabriolets), 4 x 4's, luxury saloons, economy and SUV's.   Make sure you check out the luggage capacity of the vehicle you are hiring to ensure it meets your requirements.  The cities, airports and places we have rental cars available to hire in Italy are too many to mention here, so just type in your desired pickup location in the search box or check out the links at the bottom of this page.
